Thanks for that. I know a lot of people have been asking about the capacity for different sized containers, and my glass carboy is "with pellicle" at the moment, so I can't really move it to check myself. What do you have brewing in there? Looks good...
Mine is still holding 50* very consistently for my Oktoberfest. I've never seen it at 49* or 51* for nearly two weeks now. Wish my keezer were that consistent...
I'm thinking about this as the cooler for my poor-man's 'glycol' chiller. Since my kegerator is set at 48F, I'd like to have a lower-temp unit to provide temp control for my fermentation cabinet.
Just as an update. The 5 and 6 gallon Better Bottles fit perfectly using a stopper and 3 piece airlock. It leaves 2 inches of clearance:
Oh, yeah. Both the 5 gallon and 6 gallon Better Bottles require the shelves to be cut out.
Has anyone tried reversing the polarity to use it as both a heater and cooler to maintain a target temp? Just curious, as that is one of the benefits of the Peltier effect, iirc.
How are these working out for you guys that have them?
I am considering picking one up due to my space constraints. I wish I had room for a bigger fridge/freezer but I need something fairly small.
These fridges holding up for people? Also, anyone know where to get one nowadays? it looks like target doesn't have them anymore. I love the fact that it is so small and won't take up much room.
I'm using a Love TS2-010 with a TS-5 probe. It's mounted in a small project enclosure. The back of the enclosure has an IEC socket with a computer power cord to the mains and a regular socket to plug the fridge into. The probe gets taped to the fermenter.
